Wahoo KICKR STEER Review: Worth it?

Wahoo has made a trio of announcements today, including new hardware, new RGT app features, and new firmware. This post is all about the new hardware side of things for Wahoo KICKR STEER, in conjunction with the new RGT steering features. However, I’ve got a second post coming a bit later covering the new firmware for the Wahoo KICKR V6 & KICKR Bike V2, which dramatically increases the power (wattage) signal transmission rate to apps like Zwift, enabling faster sprint reaction times.

On the hardware side of things, the new KICKR STEER is an non-electronic accessory that mounts on the front of your bike (or indoor smart bike) to provide steering within RGT (that’s Wahoo’s indoor training/racing cycling app). The accessory lets you place a phone in a tray, which then leverages your phones internal sensors to detect the tilting of the tray, causing your cycling avatar to take corners more tightly. But steering in RGT isn’t just limited to the KICKR STEER hardware, it also allows existing KICKR Bike’s to use the steering buttons (which Zwift already leverages) to steer in RGT, as well as allows you to use your phone without the STEER to manually steer (or even a keyboard to sorta-steer).
